To identify key principles, policies, and practices required to conserve and enhance agricultural biodiversity for sustainable global food security.
Synthesized evidence linking genetic, species, and farming systems biodiversity to agricultural productivity and ecosystem functions.
Evaluated traditional farming practices alongside modern findings in agroecology and integrated pest and soil management.
Erosion of agrobiodiversity weakens essential ecosystem services, escalating vulnerabilities in global agricultural production.
Transitioning from industrial monocultures to agroecosystem approaches improves soil health and pest control through integrated ecological practices.
Preserving local knowledge and safeguarding intellectual property rights for indigenous and smallholder farmers is essential to sustain biodiversity management.
